Homework Assignments

All graded homework assignments are posted and submitted on our WebWork page. If you are off campus, you'll need to VPN to the campus network in order to access the WebWork server. If you are on campus and having trouble accessing this page, make sure you aren't on the "eduroam" network. We will discuss username and password information on the first day of class.

Optional problems

In addition to the assigned problems, there will also be a number of optional problem sets that are posted, either on WebWork or on this site (or both). Optional problems from the text will generally be odd-numbered, so that solutions are available at the end of the book. Optional problems on WebWork will have answers available immediately upon posting.
